Abstract
The face of forensic psychology and psychiatry is changing, notably as it is applied to children and adolescents. As suggested in the material in this handbook, there is heightened potential to improve criminal detection practices and use experimental design to test the effectiveness of correctional and treatment services. Unfortunately, there is less evidence of efforts to improve organizational communication (e.g., schools, correctional facilities, police, probation offices, etc.) to facilitate tracking and service provisions for children and adolescents within and across geographical boundaries. Scientific advances in genetics, experimental longitudinal designs, neuroimaging, informatics, and intervention science are core to continued innovation in forensic psychology and psychiatry.
